I've completed eight full 'thons and looking to do more. Oddly, I look almost the same as I did when I started. So, as I train and complete more 'thons, I'm trying to address some issues along the way. Ultimately, I will be a healthier, happier and thinner person.

the Marine Corps way?

After three rest days (two unintentional), I think that I might need to follow baby bro's Marine Corps motto:

PT, PT every dayBuilds our bodies the Marine Corps way

Yes - Monday was a planned rest day. Tuesday evening was supposed to be spent on the exercise bike watching Loser. (Instead, I WAS a loser and drank beer while watching it.) Wednesday was spent angry and stomping around the kitchen instead of running at 9pm.

If I were in the Corps, I wouldn't have a choice. I would just do it. No excuses.

I have a working out partner here in Charlotte. She wants us to workout HARD 7 days a week which I am not down with. I am at this point walking 3 miles 4 days a week. Brisk 3 miles. Starting tomorrow we will be doing 30 second sprints on the second mile. I broke down and weighed myself yesterday. First time in nearly a year. It wasn't bnearly as bad as I thought it would be, I've only gained 12 lbs, which reaffirms by thought that everything I have is turning into fat. I feel flabby. Though my two weeks of working out (4 days cardio and anything the other three days) have already made me feel better and firmer in some locations. that s good news.

Oh and I also joined sparkpeople.com Free online workouts, food tracking, support etc. It's been cool. Mark joined too.

IsaV, you rock.The sprints are going to be shocking (mentally and physically) for a couple of days, but then it's going to be easire and easier and easier. Girl, you are on your way to a marathon!Me? I just need to get my ass out of the door.I'll check out sparkpeople...

I have to ask, where is the V coming from in Isabelle? I am so confused. I could sign up for another gmail account and use my other name, but I don't know if I can handle another password in my life. Seriously. my brain is clogged.

I believe I already mentioned my clogged brain issue. Q explained it to V and V agree's with Q that you are one of the most clever people they know.

Did a 2 mile hike today. Feeling a little frustrated that my workout buddy gave me some crap about only doing cardio M-W-F with her and Sat with Mark. She believes we should be doing it 7 days a week. I had to shut her down a little with a comment about my selling & neuroma issues. I sorta hope she felt crappy. (I'm in a pissy mood and it makes me feel better to make people feel crappy. Nice huh?)

About Me

I'm a mommy, marathoner, citizen lobbyist, and home canning lunatic. My bills exist in reality, therefore I must, too. So, I work for a pretty darn good company in "the city" (as city as you can get in Utah) while dreaming about living in the country and supporting my family by making unique jellies and preserves. It's all very Diane Keaton in "Baby Boom," isn't it?
